In this paper, we consider multiple mobile agents moving in Euclidean space with point mass dynamics. Using a coordination control scheme, we can make the group generate stable flocking motion. The control laws are a combination of…
In a distributed algorithm, multiple processes, or agents, work toward a common goal. More often than not, the actions of some agents are dependent on the previous execution (if not also on the outcome) of the actions of other agents. The…
In this work, we investigate an individual-based model (IBM) for self-propelled agents interacting locally on a plane. Agents are characterized by their position, the angle determining their direction of motion, and their angular velocity.…
In this paper, a distributed velocity-constrained consensus problem is studied for discrete-time multi-agent systems, where each agent's velocity is constrained to lie in a nonconvex set. A distributed constrained control algorithm is…
In recent years, many efforts have been addressed on collision avoidance of collectively moving agents. In this paper, we propose a modified version of the Vicsek model with adaptive speed, which can guarantee the absence of collisions.…
Flocks of birds, schools of fish, insects swarms are examples of coordinated motion of a group that arises spontaneously from the action of many individuals. Here, we study flocking behavior from the viewpoint of multi-agent reinforcement…
We consider flocking of self-propelling agents in two dimensions, each of which communicates with its neighbors within a limited vision cone. Also, the communication occurs with some delay. The communication among the agents are modeled by…
A group of mobile agents, identical, anonymous, and oblivious (memoryless), having the capability to sense only the relative direction (bearing) to neighborhing agents within a finite visibility range, are shown to gather to a meeting point…
Here we consider the communications tactics appropriate for a group of agents that need to "swarm" together in a highly adversarial environment. Specfically, whilst they need to cooperate by exchanging information with each other about…
This report surveys results on distributed systems comprising mobile agents that are identical and anonymous, oblivious and interact solely by adjusting their motion according to the relative location of their neighbours. The agents are…
This paper investigates agreement protocols over cooperative and cooperative--antagonistic multi-agent networks with coupled continuous-time nonlinear dynamics. To guarantee convergence for such systems, it is common in the literature to…
In this work we study a multi-agent coordination problem in which agents are only able to communicate with each other intermittently through a cloud server. To reduce the amount of required communication, we develop a self-triggered…
We investigate the emergence of cohesive flocking in open, boundless space using a multi-agent reinforcement learning framework. Agents integrate positional and orientational information from their closest topological neighbours and learn…
In cooperative multi-agent robotic systems, coordination is necessary in order to complete a given task. Important examples include search and rescue, operations in hazardous environments, and environmental monitoring. Coordination, in…
We study a simple but compelling model of $n$ interacting agents via time-dependent, unidirectional communication. The model finds wide application in a variety of fields including synchronization, swarming and distributed decision making.…
In this paper a convergent, nearest-neighbor, control protocol is suggested for agents with nontrivial dynamics. The protocol guarantees convergence to a common point in space even if each agent is restricted to communicate with a single…
Gathering is a fundamental task for multi-agent systems and the problem has been studied under various assumptions on the sensing capabilities of mobile agents. This paper addresses the problem for a group of agents that are identical and…
In this paper, we consider the consensus problem of dynamical multiple agents that communicate via a directed moving neighborhood random network. Each agent performs random walk on a weighted directed network. Agents interact with each…
